Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
Time for some housekeeping. I use our two remaining trade tickets to move on some guys we won't be keeping next year.
George was seeking big bucks to stay and really hasn't shown anything to suggest he is worth it. So back comes Mudcat Grant, albeit with a nice chunk of his remaining sal this season and next now being covered by Philly.
Again, both Miller and Pagan were moving well above our valuation of them and so we wanted to at least salvage something. Belinsky (with Pittsburgh IRL in 1969) is a decent enough lefty we'll use in Brunet's place, while Mikkelsen (with us IRL in 1966) will start at AAA and we'll figure out what to do with him next year.
